  • I Bought a Refurbished Xbox One X From Wish.com - Was it a Rip Off? I paid $319 for a refurbished Xbox One X from Wish.com. The packaging was good and the cords and controller seemed to be in new or like new condition. The console itself looked new (no scratches) but when I updated it the resolution went to 720p and I couldn't get it to change back. I decided to replace the HDMI retimer/redriver chip because I've found that resolution issues like this in Xbox One X consoles are most often cause by these chips being faulty. (However, after replacing the chip I discovered that my HDMI switch was malfunctioning and it's possible that was the cause of the resolution problem.)

    About This Video: I paid $319 for a refurbished Xbox One X from Wish.com which is cheaper than the $400 or so they charge for a new one. However, since most stores are sold out of new Xbox One X consoles this might actually be a pretty good way to go. Everything was packaged very well and the cords and controller seemed to be in new or like new condition. The console itself looked new because I didn't see any scratches but when I was getting it updated the resolution went to 720p instead of 1080p and I couldn't get it to change back. I've found that resolution issues like this in Xbox One X consoles are most often cause by a faulty HDMI retimer/redriver chip so replacing that chip is what I tried first. After replacing the chip I discovered that my HDMI switch was malfunctioning and it's possible that was the cause of the resolution problem. That's why it's always a good idea to check your connections as part of diagnosing game console issues.

      not quite, you can see this xbox one X is missing a sticker tab on the front, and that the heat sink copper pad is damaged.
      this is likely a unit which failed QA testings and was sent to be scrapped but never was scrapped - which is VERY common to see these type of units from all range of electronics all over the electronic markets in China.
      another good examples are "refurbished" smartwatches and handheld game consoles.
      in China, over 80% of these are actually products which failed QA and someone stole from the factory.
      the only exception for that would be Apple products - in that case the workers would steal individual parts which fail QA tests and sneak them out to be sold in the electronics market - some sellers would bulk manufacture "premium refurbished" iPhones from these parts to be sold in the markets for at least half or a third of the price of a brand new product.
      most times parts would fail QA for various dumb reasons, for example Samsung would fail a display in their QA tests if the display is not exceeding a certain amount of brightness and JBMA uniformity - the display essentially works just fine but it is not as bright as samsung specifies or the backlight uniformity is not above a certain percentage (i'd guess in smartphones that would be 99%?).
      so for example samsung would essentially throw a fully functioning working display to be scrapped because its backlight produces 520 nits instead of 580 nits and its JBMA uniformity is at 95% instead of 99%.
      would you notice that this display's brightness is not that bright like a "new" display? maybe if you put it side by side with the new one, but uniformity? yeah you will never notice that... especially not in a display that is this small.
      so these displays end up being sold in the electronic markets as replacement OEM parts or they are being sold to sellers which use them to refurbish/build a "refurbished" phone to sell.

    Hey, for the part about it not changing back to 1080p, if you go around the those settings there's an option to switch from Auto-Detect (which detects what your tv/monitor can use), or you can select DVI or HDMI and manually choose the settings.

  • @mobbikhan9774

    i know the deal about these refurbished units. basically the faulty consoles in warranty that are sent to microsoft are just replaced, not fixed, and then the defective units go to recycling centers all new in box (because the warranty need you to put them in the box) and then they just take parts from like 2-3 xboxes to make a working one. my dad would do this in his free time but with playstations, (buy them for 30 or 20 dollars a pop from the recycling center making 1 out of 2 work and then selling it as new). the most money he made was when he would get faulty xbox 360 devkits do the same and sell them

To a gamer it's easy to tell the differences between the different Xbox consoles but to say a parent or grandparent looking to buy a xbox or birthday present a Xbox one, one S and One X are the exact same thing and so they'll get the wrong console or just decide not to get 1 incase they get the wrong 1.

    @TronicsFix Hi I'm an electrical engineer in the Netherlands, and I really like your videos. But I have one question. At what temperature do you use your hot air solderstation? I have an old Weller WR2 series hot air/desolder station, and in the near future I will use the hot air solder to desolder and solder some IC's. But do you consult the datasheet of the IC for the correct temperature? Or do you have a standard? Thank you for your advice.

    Hi! Your video really interesting, I like repair some device also. But I'm a bit surprised of your way of repair. You never using special device for checking voltage, nothing about electronic scheme, or thermal vision for detect defects on motherboard. You just trying change suspected part and after try how it's working. It's not bad, but what if it's wrong way? You will spend a lot of time, and some chips for sure need order and waiting when it's will come. In future are you planning buy some professional tools for diagnostic? Sorry for my English.
